ARM has been pro-active on many issues which threaten midwifery and good maternity care, campaigning and lobbying in support of an enhanced service within the NHS for childbearing women as well as a strong professional identity for midwives.
The Association has earned the respect of Government departments and other bodies on midwifery issues, and is now consulted at all stages of enquiries in the field.
One their members was appointed adviser to the House of Commons Health Committee during the wide ranging enquiry into maternity services in the UK which reported in 1992 (The "Winterton Report"). Many ARM members are elected or appointed to the UK professional regulatory bodies, as well as to the Council of the Royal College of Midwives, which is the largest professional organisation for midwives in the world.
ARM is one of the organisations consulted during the review of the National Institute For Clinical Excellence (NICE) UK guidelines on practice and procedure.
